10 things about my almost 4 year old….

1) If
we ever let him choose the restaurant, it’s always Jason’s Deli (or Jason’s Jelly
according to Noah).

2) Noah
started soccer and is on the Silver Snakes. He is very competitive and I’m
interested how to see this season unfolds. Noah is not a graceful loser or
winner. He will quickly let you know that he beat you and has had some good
pout/cry sessions over losing. (Confession-
it runs in the family on both sides, he didn’t stand a chance.)

3) Noah
loves his new school. One of the class helpers told the teachers that she
thinks Noah will be a politician. I’m still not exactly sure what character
quality he has that made her say this, but we will go with it. If he’s like W,
I’ll take that as a win.

4) This
boy loves to talk about Australia and Southern Canada. We aren’t sure where it’s
coming from, but it’s been fun to learn about alongside of him.

5) He
wants a cat badly. I think we might surprise him with a fish or lizard for his
birthday.

6) We
have started doing chores around the house and Big Brother earns dimes. This
boy was an awesome duster last weekend. Matt even noticed. Noah also loves the task of picking up the
dog’s poop with a shovel and putting it in a bag. No complaints here. Yes, yes
we wash our hands VERY thoroughly afterwards.

7) He
can spell his first and last name as of yesterday. We are working on the middle
name and our address.

8) He
loves to tell stories. He loves to be told stories. His favorite characters
include alligators and dinosaurs. It’s bringing out my creative side because I
have to wing all these stories and have good answers for the “why” questions
that follow.

9) Noah’s
prayers are amazing. He says what he thinks like “thank you for making me
medium.” Or “help me to have a good day tomorrow” and “I want to be nice to my brother.” We pray
every night and I love it. Start ‘em young!

10) He
has a mole on the corner of his mouth that I’m obsessed with. It’s not Cindy
Crawford size, but I think it’s going to be a distinguishing mark about him.
His eyes have changed a lot too- they are green but the right one has the big
speck of brown in the corner. I love genetics and how God formed this handsome
boy. He’s stellar.
